Please help out the poorest of pensioners in this country who are very
very poor and cannot afford to buy decent food and also go without
meals altogether, malnutrition amongst our elderly population costs
the NHS billions every year, a good nutritional diet is very important
for the elderly population, please do your bit and sign this e-
petition, thanks for your help.

a) We're pensioners and live very well and even save because we don't
need
to spend all the pension. There's no need for pensioners who can do
their
own shopping to suffer from malnutrition.

b) Do you really think that these petitions do any good at all?

We have many pensioners who came here from Other countries and were
already old , hence no pension only the small Social Security ,,,


The poster was talking about UK.


I hadn't realized that the poster was in the UK.

Some petitions help to make people attentive to the problem ,,,, some
don`t


And the.gov ones here don't. Even paper ones don't. Even a couple of
million marchers didn't ... :-(


Still, it's nice to think that the little people might be able to make
*some* kind of difference... or at least try. Maybe if everyone who grew
up in the 60's (Hippies) had stuck with our beliefs about trying to save the
environment, the horrendous effects from Global Warming might not be
happening now. Instead, everyone is panicing now trying to figure out how
to fix the problem. / So even if petitions (for or against *most*
things) might not work in some countries... it can't hurt to at least try,
right?
